Maurice Strakosch Talks About PATHS
First Appearance-A SpunlSy Girl.
"The debut of the diva was, as may say,
the result of an accident. A concert was
given for charity at the New York Academy
of Music in 1850, and "A singer of some celeb
rity in her day, but now forgotten, made her
first appearance. By way of novelty, q little
girl years old, the daughter of singing
teacher, was announced to sing the song made
famous by Jenny Lind, the Echo Song and
an aria from La Sonnambula.' When the
child came upon the stage she was q symphony
in black and white-luminous black eyes and
white pantalettes. Sho was given round Of
applause on her appearance, and she was al
most as self confident as she is now. Her
singing was phenomenal, and she created an
extraordinary sensation, starting her at onco
upon her career as the greatest singer of her
age l arranged for a series of concerts in
Baltimore. The first night there were about
hundred persons in the house; the second
twice as many; the sixth concert was given
before an audience of 1000 people, and the
enthusiasm was unbounded. Even in these
early days Patti was just as capricious and
self willed as she has always been. One day
l took her for walk and she saw q big wax
doll in a shop window. She dropped my hand
and rushed to the window in an ecstasy of
childish admiration Nothing would do but
must buy the doll for her, so promised her
that she should have it. That evening there
was large house, and before her first en-
trance Patti sent for me-
la bambolap [The DOLL
81 told her she should have it in the morn
ing. The tears came into her big, dark eyes,
and she informed me, with a stamp of her
little foot, that if the doll were not forthcom-
ing then and there she should not sing. So
the audience was kept waiting while / went
to the shop keepers house, thence to his store,
bought the doll, and hurried with it to the
child. She took it, kissed it with cff,lsion,
dashed the tears from her eyes, and went on
the stage to sing in style that captivated tho
public. Ole Bull was travelling with the COM
pany, and one day at dinner the old violinist
refused to give little Patti her modicum of
champagne-a beverage of which even then
she was very fond. Another child would
have pouted and cried, but Adelina rose and
gave the violinist o resonant box on the ear,
much to his CONSERVATION and the amazement
of the guests in the dining room. Chicago

Professor ). jacobsen, who has been in the
province for some years collecting Indian
curios for the Hamburg museum and writing
up the habits, customs ard traditions OF the
aborigines, arrived down on the Boscowitz

last winter at Tucalo, the head of the SOUTH
ernmost of the Bentinck arms, which is dis
tant from Bella Coda about eighty miles.
Here he found the Indian In his primitive
state, Wild untutored savage, with but
scant knowledge of the arts OF customs of

The inlet, running far inland and being
every way out of the course of traders or
prospectors, Is never visited, and the Indians

of it before. They live there as they do in
most places around the coast, by hunting and
fishing, deor and fur bearing animals abound

he witnessed there during tho past winter,

of men ambitious for the honors of chieftain

remaining there for some time, coming back
possessed of a spirit and biting pieces of flesh
from the bodies of those whom they first
meet.
One who wished to graduate last winter
went out and remained from sight for several
weeks, though he came near tho camp occa-
sionally and made night hideous with his yolls.
When he returned to the tribe he came naked,
notwithstanding that it was the middle of
winter, with two or three feet of snow on the
ground. The first man he met ho seized,
knocked down, and bit piece out Of his arm,
which he chewed ravenously. This was re-

ENGLAND IN EGYPT.
How the British Government Secured .
Hold ON the Nile Country.

Hold ON the Nile Country.
In 1873 the Khcdive Ismail, by rash
efforts to inaugurate public improves
ments and other extravagances, had
increased the National debt to S4S5
0OO,O0 1t was not possible to extort
even the interest of this vast debt from
his already impoverished subjects, and
Egyptian credit was so impaired that
additional foreign loans to meet the
annual deficit in the revenues could no
longer be obtained. This large debt
being held mostly in England and
France, Ismail handed over the finan-
cial administration of his Government
to these two Powers, and they estab-
lished what was known us the "Anglo-
French Control" Two Controllers
General were sent by these countries
to take up their residence in Egypt,
there to superintend the collection and
disbursement of the revenue. The
khedive was not pleased with their
conduct of affairs, however. and in
April, 1879, he arbitrarily dismissed
them The European Powers then in
terfcrcd and forced Ismail to abdicate
his throne in favor of his son Mehemet
Tcwfik. and the joint control was re-
stored. Ii was very unpopular with
the people, however, and gave the
most important pretcxt for the re-
bellion OF 1881, headed by Arab
Bey. England and France then sent
joint fleet to Alexandria to uphold up
the authority of the Khedive, and to
protect European residents in Egyp-
tan cities, who were the especial
objects of the popular hatred.
January IL, 1881, there was
a massacre of the Christians Mt
Alexandria. The English now deter
mined to open fire on the insurgents.
the French would not take part in the
attack, and, therefore, on the 18th of
June, Alexandria was bombarded bv
order of the English commander. This
attack was followed by the landing of
the British force, which, acting in the
interest of the Khcdive, overthrow the
rebellion of Arab. and restored peace
and order. The joint control was now
understood to be abolished, and Eng
land established an army of occupation
in Egypt, which, however. she distinct
ly declared, should only remain there
us long as it was needed to secure the
permanency of the Khcdive's Govern
ment. Lord Dutferin was sent to Egypt
in the fall of 1882 to reorganizc the
Legislative branch of the Government,
and prepared II constitution which was
accepted by the Khedive, and put in
force by his decree. During the dis
turbance in the Soudan, the Powers
generally made no objection to Eng
lands occupation of Egypt, but when
that trouble was over France began to
interpose objections, and demand guar
antees for her claims against that coun-
try. In 1885, n financial scheme was
drawn up by the Powers, under which
the credit of the Government has been
greatly improved. Some arrangement
pointing to a withdrawal of troops has
been under consideration by the Brit
ish Government for some time, as it is
generally understood that continued
occupations will not be sanctioned by
the Powers. Chicago Inter Ocean.
